Rodney Brown added 10 points, while Ephraim Tshimanga had seven steals for Allatoona, which will be off until beginning the region tournament Wednesday. As the No. 1 seed, the Buccaneers will have a first-round bye before hosting their first opponent.

The Greyhounds (17-8, 10-4) outscored the Raiders 21-9 in the third quarter to take control and held on for the victory.
